And the hills in a pair of scales?

We ought

They have said, “The Lord does not see,

Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed.”

Thus they exchanged their glory
For the image of an ox that eats grass.

Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of man’s hands.

To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’
And that is your teacher?
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
And there is no breath at all inside it.
